WOODSTOCK, N.Y. -- A Woodstock woman is facing more than a dozen misdemeanor charges for failing to provide proper sustenance to the animals living on her property, according to officials from the Ulster County SPCA.

Charges are pending against Louise Giuricheo of 830 Church Road, officials said.

On July 15, the Ulster County SPCA, together with the Ulster County Sheriff's Office, executed a search warrant at Giuricheo's home following a two-week investigation into the living conditions for the animals, including horses, sheep, goats and dogs, kept on her property, the SPCA said.

The animals were found to have overgrown hooves, infections, dental problems, poor nutrition and severe matting of their fur, the SPCA said.

In addition, the home was saturated with ammonia and fecal waste among the human refuse, according to the SPCA.

Giuricheo is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday in Woodstock Town Court.
